Nietzsche

 “Examine the lives of the best and most fruitful people and peoples and ask yourselves whether a tree that is supposed to grow to a proud height can dispense with bad weather and storms; whether misfortune and external resistance, some kinds of hatred, jealousy, stubbornness, mistrust, hardness, avarice, and violence do not belong among the favorable conditions without which any great growth even of virtue is scarcely possible.”- Nietzsche'

            I agree with his Philosophy and how there will always be difficulties in your life that will try to stop you from doing what you want to do. It’s up to the individual to find a way to accept or adopt it as part of their life in order to move on. I also think that in certain cases you could change your perspective from being negative to positive. In my lifetime I have been through many difficulties, personal or inclusive, and each one was difficult for me in some way shape or form, and the more I thought about these situations, the more they festered and slowed me down, preventing me for doing what I love and hoped to do. But because I knew that some of them weren’t going to go away, I began to slowly accept them one by one, and I saw myself becoming stronger and more able to move past them in order to move forward with my life. One example would be when I broke my elbow, I had to learn how to do things with one hand and more than once I gave up trying, but as I got used to it and learnt to accept it, they became a second nature for me and I worked hard to get things to go back to the way they used to. And even though it won’t be perfect I accepted it in order to move on and prepare myself for the next difficulty to come my way.
